step 7 of 7

Did my best to colorize the mannequins and their clothing. Smudged out some of the reflections and the lines where hands were attached. After color I added texture at very low opacity to make them look a little less plastic. Girl looked like she should be wearing pantyhose, so I used a little denim texture on her legs. Blurred outlines to make them fit in better, then added shadows to the background for the final picture.
